Two teams in very different places this season will do battle in Wednesday’s Kennesaw State vs Western Kentucky matchup in Conference USA. The Kennesaw State Owls are happy just to have a win under their belt, while Western Kentucky is chasing the CUSA title this season. Here, we bring you college football picks for their matchup, one in which Western Kentucky is a 24.5-point favorite going into the action.
Can Kennesaw State Build On Huge Upset Win?
Last week, Kennesaw State got their first win as an FBS football program in shocking fashion. They won outright as 27.5-point underdogs against the Liberty Flames, who were undefeated going into that game. That win brought Kennesaw State to 1-6 for the season and 1-2 in Conference USA play. While it is unlikely that the Owls will be able to pull off another monumental upset this week, it will be interesting to see how they build on last week’s win and if they can keep things competitive with the Hilltoppers.
Western Kentucky Aims For 4-0 CUSA Start
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are one of two remaining unbeaten teams in Conference USA play this season. They are 3-0 in CUSA play, beating Middle Tennessee, UTEP, and Sam Houston to move to the top of the conference standings entering this week. That last win over Sam Houston was an impressive one, as the Hilltoppers beat a Sam Houston team that has already reached the six-win mark this season. Now the question is whether Western Kentucky can avoid taking this game for granted like Liberty did last week, avoiding an upset and remaining perfect in conference competition.
Kennesaw State vs Western Kentucky Best Bet
Our best bet for Kennesaw State vs Western Kentucky is for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers to win and cover the spread as huge favorites at home. While Kennesaw State’s first win of the season last week was one of the nicest stories in college football, that is not exactly something that will carry over into this week. Look for normal service to resume for the Owls and for the Hilltoppers to move to a convincing 4-0 in CUSA.
